A storage system includes a plurality hard disk drives and a plurality of solid-state drives and a storage controller operable to manage the hard disk drives and solid-state drives as a plurality of logical volumes, and categorize input/output requests to the logical volumes into types based on sizes of the input/output requests (e.g., smaller and larger). The storage controller is also operable to reconfigure the logical volumes from the hard disk drives and the solid-state drives based on the types of the input/output requests to the logical volumes. A first of the reconfigured logical volumes occupies a first portion of at least one of the solid-state drives and a first portion of at least one of the hard disk drives. The storage controller is further operable to direct the first type of the input/output requests to the first portion of the solid-state drive occupied by the first reconfigured logical volume.
